Criminology is not just focused on explaining the etiological factors behind crimecommission; ultimately the goal is to find and empirically assess policies to control it.A criminology of the State is no different. Over the course of the past two decades, agrowing number of scholars of State crime have devoted attention to and research on theissues of controls, yet, there have been relatively few articles that solely focus on the issueof international criminal justice and its ability, or lack thereof, to have a deterrent effect.However, many actors within the field of international criminal justice have heraldedthe deterrent power of the international criminal justice system and its ability to removeimpunity for violations of international criminal law. Likewise, many practitionersand scholars routinely assume a probability at best, to an assumption of sureness, of apowerful deterrent effect for those in high ranking positions, including heads of State,that violate international criminal law. This article examines the potential deterrenteffect of international criminal justice, as it pertains to State crime, which is grounded incriminological insights. To do so, we present an overview of the common assumptionsof and criminological thinking in deterrence models. This is followed by highlightingthose factors most strongly associated with a deterrent effect with State criminality andinternational criminal justice. The article concludes with a critical examination of thepotential of deterrence and how it fails to generate the effects for heads of State andother high ranking officials which so many international public actors, including theinternational criminal justice system, claims.
